  1. I use Samsung S23 ultra and there is no goodnote available on such small device. When do you plan to launch it for smartphone with pen? I have it on my Samsung tablet and desktop win app and I m very confused that I cannot use goodnote on my smartphone too.

  2. I think like PowerPoint, it'd be good to be able to collapse the purple toolbar (that sits above the pen tools). It honestly takes up a lot of vertical space and is unnecessary for the entirety of a notetaking session.

    We normally don't need to access the notebook name, tabs, recording, share, etc. immediately and therefore it is a waste of space for it to be visible sometimes.

    It should be easily collapsed, and some essential tools like back and forward could be moved to the writing tools row that should be the one to only show.

  3. I have been working on good notes to annotate my case studies. I like taking notes on the side but sadly there is not enough space in the papers to take notes. I think it would be a great feature to add page space to take notes on the side.

    Another is adding comments, a feature to have a full view of the comments on the side of the page similar to the feature on google doc would be great and if integrated into the tile view would be fantastic.

  4. I learn with the study set and like to mark the cards that I need to revise.
    Since Good Notes 6, a page number isn't shown at all what makes it impossible for me to use the practice mode.

  6. I truly need this option for my academic notes, as I often write on the keyboard. There are 3 options regarding the adjustment of text, and yet you still cannot justify it evenly, as in Microsoft Word.

    1. allow custom template on studyset, just like other notes ;

  7. When I write on a sticker, like a memo or post-it note, my handwriting doesn't stay on the sticker when I move the sticker. The sticker separate from the handwriting when I move the sticker. Notability does this beautifully. In Notability, when I write on a sticker, and when I move the sticker, the sticker moved together with my handwriting on it. When I rotate the sticker, my handwriting rotate together with the sticker. In Goodnotes, I have to lasso both my handwriting and sticker in order to move it, which is cumbersome and not natural (i.e. not how I…

  8. I have the social media planner on Goodnotes. I can plan, schedule, post images, clips etc, text, even audio into a not, how great would it be to be able to organize all of my artwork posts reels stories for the month, then just post directly from the planner every day? I'm new to GN, so maybe this isn't possible, but it would be the best thing ever! SO many artists on Instagram & FB looking for a better way to showcase their art, on a schedule.

  10. When downloading Windows-only Good Notes, please allow them to be downloaded directly from the Good Notes site without going through the Microsoft Store.

    This is because download errors often occur in Microsoft stores.

    I threw away 2 hours because of this. I couldn't even download it after all.

  12. In the new feature of smart study flashcards, the typing section is stuck with one font and one format. If I could explained with different colors, formatting subscripts/superscripts it’d be super convenient and imp[rove my experience. Thanks for all of y’all hardwork!

  13. Could we get an option to adjust the opacity of the highlighter we are using? In using it as a marker it would be nice to have the option for the color to be fully opaque, and then sometimes when highlighting it is nice to have a color brighter in some areas and more transparent in others.

  15. I know this might sound weird, but if I find that something on the support site isn't working properly, what should I do to report the issue? There's nothing in the "Please select the main component that is causing problems" field that I see relevant.

    I recently filed a request on the support site and found that my request status was marked as 'solved'.

  17. I have been a Goodnotes user for over 5 years, and it is currently my primary note-taking app for my studies in medical school. I have recently noticed a small redundancy that I believe can make the user experience a lot smoother if a slight improvement is made. When accessing the outlines within a notebook composed of imported PDFs, there are both custom outlines and auto-imported PDF outlines. As is the case with many students, the PDF outlines are often cluttered and sometimes irrelevant, so custom outlines are instead used to divide the various subsections (eg. lectures) within a notebook.…

  18. Because there is no way to contact your company, I am putting my issue here.
    The newest version has an issue on my iPad that while handwriting with the apple pencil, portions of my writing erases without me changing pencil types. If I use the redo button, it will back up to what I just wrote. I have all the latest updates of the app and iPad installed.
